Drawing a Still Life\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>
with Barbara Silbert<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

1. SET UP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Set up your objects on a tablecloth, and find another cloth to prop up behind it & tape to a wall or a large board.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/b><\/span>\u00a0SHADING<\/b><\/p>\n

Find the tallest item<\/strong> first and mark the top and bottom of it, then the others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Draw a line down the middle of each item, noting if they have an angle or are straight. (see which red lines are straight and which are angled)\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then draw the curves on each side of the red line, making sure the curves on the bowl are equidistant from the center red line; the curves of the pears may be a bit different, or non-symmetrical and one side may be fatter than the other.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Look at the flattish ovals that form the top, bottom, and plate of the bowl. The oval of the plate drops behind the bowl & you just see the front of the plate. There\u2019s a smaller oval at the very bottom of bowl.<\/p>\n

3. SHADING<\/b><\/p>\n

Using a 6B sharpened pencil, hold it on the flat side and shade the darkest part of the bowl & pears, using more pressure to get it darker. Then do the same with the mid-tones, and leave the paper white for the lightest tones, or highlights.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. TABLECLOTH<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Draw fold lines on the angles you see, then shade between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next week we will use colored pencils to work on the same still life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Drawing, Barbara\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
